The data used in this dashboard was the olympics dataset (week 32 /2024) sourced from Tidy Tuesday: A weekly social data project. It is shown below and can be downloaded as a CSV

Welcome to the Summer Olympics Dashboard, an interactive tool for exploring over 100 years of Olympic history. Using data from the RGriffin Kaggle dataset (1896-2016), this project visualizes key insights into medal counts, athlete performance, and demographic trends. This dataset was featured in the TidyTuesday Week 32 of 2024 edition.

Built with R and key packages like ggplot2, shiny, and bslib, the project highlights increasing gender parity, achievements of top athletes, and the growing contribution of women to the US Gold medal’s count. Future improvements include deeper exploration and predictions of Olympic trends.

Special thanks to the Kaggle dataset and the TidyTuesday community for supporting this project.
